Why This Room Caught My Eye

Autumn has kicked in with full force here in Germany. The mornings are chilly, the days fresh and the nights crisp. I like the change of season and early autumn is a wonderful season when we slide from warm to fresh - you know, the moment when you take out your warm blanket for the first time after a few months. When you prepare a warm tea and snuggle up with your favorite book. This must have been in my mind when I stumbled over this comfy reading nook.

I was instantly drawn into this reading nook by its sophisticated simplicity. It sort of features the bare musts for a reading nook: a comfy seating, light, some art to inspire your mind and some greens to remind us of the ongoing life. But let me break it down in three main eye-catchers:

• Comfy Chair & Ottoman: This chair and ottoman look super comfy and designy at the same time. Plus the soft cream hue and leather finishing looks extraordinary and lush for a great reading nook.
• Natural Hues: Keeping a reading corner in natural hues sets the calming tone for mental elaboration. Soft beige hues, wooden accents, greens and blues have a balancing and calming effect.
• Green Terrarium: I love to place a plant next to an area where I like to unwind and relax. It brings in the living nature, it grounds myself and it makes me value our life and our planet as a whole. Not to mention that it looks awesomely cool. But that's another story.

Would you sit down and read a book in this reading nook?
